Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without delay.




Dynamic
stability control

(ESC/ASR)


fl ashing. The ESC/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and improves the directional
stability of the vehicle.

fi xed. Unless it has been deactivated
(button pressed and its indicator
lamp on) the ESC/ASR system
has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Cause



Action / Observations






Passenger's
front airbag


fi xed, in the seat
belt and front
passenger's
airbag warning
lamps display. The control switch, located
on the passenger's end of
the dashboard, is set to the
OFF
position.
The passenger's front airbag is
deactivated.
You can install a "rear-facing"
child seat on the front seat. Before installing a "rear-facing" child seat on the front seat,
it is essential
to deactivate the passenger's front airbag.
On the other hand, where no "rear-facing" child seat is
present, it is recommended that the airbag be reactivated:
set the control to the ON
position.




ESC/ASR


fi xed. The button, located in the centre
of the dashboard, is pressed. Its
indicator lamp is on.
The following functions are
deactivated.


- electronic stability
programme (ESC),

- anti-slip regulation or traction
control (ASR),

- automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps. Press the button again to reactivate these functions
manually. Its indicator lamp goes off.
These functions are reactivated automatically when the
vehicle is started.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake of one or more wheels
and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the
driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.


Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.








SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE
(INTELLIGENT TRACTION CONTROL)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.
This automatic system continuously checks for situations of diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control
limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful to
temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control and wheel anti-
slip
systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.
